Blue Bay Travel has hailed the success of its homeworking division, which marks its first anniversary on Tuesday (July 26).
The Personal Travel Consultants in Partnership with Blue Bay Travel (PTCs) has served more than 5,300 passengers in its first year, representing a third of Blue Bay Travel’s overall business.
The company said “stand-out sales” included a booking of almost £100,000 to Las Vegas, which contributed to January 31 being the PTCs’ biggest trading day to date, with a total revenue of £213,000.

Chief executive Alistair Rowland praised the success of the brand in its first year, and said it has “really shaken up the homeworking sector”.
“It’s an innovative, forward-thinking brand which focuses on nurturing talent and uses extensive training and peer support to equip our consultants with the tools they need to generate some of the best revenues in travel,” he said.
“The strength of exclusive, high value deal leads which convert at over 40% is a great support to our self-employed PTCs’ businesses. It’s a truly exciting brand for homeworkers to partner with.”
He added: “As part of Blue Bay Travel’s growth plans, we’re expanding the breadth of our directly contracted product so that all agents who sell our deals have access to an even wider range of destinations, accommodation options and cruises.”
Sales manager Abbie Heaton said: “With the issues still facing holidaymakers with flight cancellations and airport queues, booking with an agent has never been more appealing as customers seek out the services of a specialised consultant who can offer expert advice and step in to resolve any issues backed by an award-winning support team in the centre.
“I want to personally thank all our PTCs who have worked so hard over the past 12 months to make sure their clients receive the very best service. Long may the success continue.”
